Let My Ship Sail

from Things We Should've Said by Abi Moore

/

lyrics

There used to be a breeze in my sails, a heart in my chest
But too much canon fire put this boat to rest
See I’ve sailed these seas and I know how this world lies
How it laughs at you with its jealous eyes
See I was sitting here thinking that I could change the world
But they turn ambition into a dirty word

And if I hear what they say, they’ll take my fight away
So let my ship sail North out in the wind.

I used to think that I was strong - I had not a care
There wasn’t a dream that I wouldn’t dare
But people make it so easy to give up when they cut you down
If I believed in that religion I’d never leave this town
Folks here move slowly and steady and try to drag you down
So they won’t get left behind when the world turns around

Another stifled mind just seems to me a crime
So let my ship sail North out in the wind.

So let my ship sail North
So let my ship sail forth
So let my ship sail North out in the wind.

And if it all fails, I’ll hold my head high
At least I can say “didn’t I try?”

Oh let my ship sail North
So let my ship sail forth
So let my ship sail North out in the wind.
Oh let my ship sail North
So let my ship sail forth
So let my ship sail North out in the wind.
So let my ship sail North out in the wind.

Abi Moore UK

Americana / Roots-Rock artist from Nottingham. Abi's 4th studio album No More Chasing marks a raucous return after 10 years.

"Impactful, gritty, & above all, brimming with conviction. Abi's stripped back, stomp 'n' holler sound instantly took us to KT Tunstall, while her rootsy, distorted Americana guitar twangs have a delicious White Stripes flavour." RCM
